Making 3-D Stars

I’ve always had a fascination with 3 dimensional stars. Not being able to find a computer program that would allow me to calculate the angles and cuts that I needed, I wrote my own. I also needed to build a jig that would keep my hands safe and hold down the small pieces to cut at the various compound angles that were necessary. With the program in hand and a jig built, I proceeded to build the above stars. If you’re interested, the program is available to download from my blog and the jig building and star making are covered in more detail there.

Great project! Just a couple of questions though: In your 3rd photo above, are both pieces glued back together along the long side opposite that cut? Looks to be an angle along the edges not being cut in that photo. What is that angle?
